I have beautiful memories of John as I spent many beautiful days at his house, with the family, while attending Kutztown University. It is at this very house I celebrated my college graduation and created lifetime memories. Thank you John and Linda for giving me such beautiful memories and sharing your home. You will never be forgotten John- may you rest in peace!

John was one of the many lawyers I met when I was first admitted to the Bar in Lehigh County. But, he is one of a much smaller number of whom I had and will always have positive memories. He was pleasant while being professional; always taking time to say hello and exchange pleasantries. Knowing he is gone, I will miss him and treasure the memories I have of a lawyer whose humanity always showed through. He was one of those people who in spirit always appeared larger than life.

John was generous of spirit with an inquisitive mind. He treated those around him with genuine interest and added joy to the most basic of conversations. He will be missed.

Dear Roberts Family,
I am saddened to here of John's passing. He was great man, friend, and colleague for the many years I have know him. I will truly miss John's wisdom and anecdotes about life. He always brought great perspective to a variety of situations. I will miss having coffee with him or enjoying a meal at his favorite restaurant Shula's. Which John always ordered Fresh Oysters, Prime Rib, and Vanilla Ice Cream with Creme de Menthe. My love and sympathy is with you during this difficult time.

Always enjoyed having a case with John. He was a fighter but also a realist. Under the most difficult of situations he could find some humor and work toward a resolution. I will miss his cheery smile.
